Poitiers, Count of Paris, Marquis of Neustria, King of West Franks
(France); m.(1) Aelis; m.(2) BEATRIX, as I have shown here. Also
mentioned (50:18), (53:18), (101:18), (136:18).
Nat Taylor posted the following to the soc.genealogy.medieval
newsgroups on 4 Nov 1995 :
"It would seem that it was Robert's first wife, Adele, not Beatrix, who
was Hildebrante's mother. This was a double marriage alliance
concluded between King Robert and Herbert II of Vermandois; Robert was
married to Beatrice "in or by the late 890's" (Andrew W. Lewis, _Royal
Succession in Capetian France (Harvard, 1981), p. 11); Herbert II had
married Robert's daughter by 907 (ibid.). This double alliance
strengthened the relationship of the two houses; the Vermandois counts
had previously supported the Carolingians (Charles the Simple) against
king Odo; but in 922 Vermandois supported Robert's succesful bid for the
throne. See also Jean Dunbabbin, _France in the Making, 843-1180
(Oxford, 1985), p. 95.
Robert's first wife was as much a daughter of Louis the Pious as I am.
She would have had to be at least 26 years Robert's senior, and to have
borne children while over 50. Stuart's sources as mentioned do not
inspire confidence, but this is hardly a surprise (sorry, Moriarty)."
